Two Korean men are being investigated on suspicion of assaulting two Yemeni men on Jeju Island last week, police said Sunday.
According to Jeju Dongbu Police Station, police are investigating the Koreans, aged in their 20s, for allegedly kicking and punching the Yemenis after the foreigners refused to pay their share of the drinks bill at a bar on Oct. 2.
Photos released by a Jeju newspaper show one Yemeni with a severely injured left eye while the other had a scratched forehead. They reportedly received medical treatment.
"They surrounded us and started kicking and punching," one of the Yemenis was quoted as saying. "They tried to extort something from us, perhaps passports or money."
